I have taken a look at the source code once more and now I believe that
asynchronous events delivery is implemented on the client via threads on all
platforms which support multithreading. Signals are used otherwise.
MULTI_THREAD macro is used to determine which mechanism should be used. But
it seems to be undefined for Win16 (WINDOWS_ONLY) and the classic versions
of the server for HP10, DGUX, LINUX.

Cheers,
